Yuki,

Well, I may remove those files from next update.

Final solution to this problem is moving from integer to floating point
for volume and OI fields. This presents however some logistic issue
as it involves not only change in AB but also changes in ALL data plugins.
This has to be done at the same time otherwise people would not be able
to get their data. So as you understand this requires some extra work
and testing.

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
